Who Should I Start? Darnell Mooney or Breece Hall

In his first game action since Week 4 due to injury, Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney was the team's leading receiver in Sunday night's 20-10 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, catching three of his five targets for 68 yards. While his 68 yards led the team on a night where Atlanta's offense was stuck in the mud, Mooney's targets were third behind receiver Drake London and tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. Most of the 27-year-old's production came on a 38-yard hookup with quarterback Michael Penix Jr. late in the second quarter. Mooney and the Falcons' passing game have a get-right matchup upcoming this Sunday against the 1-6 Miami Dolphins, but he figures to continue to be an inconsistent boom/bust WR4/flex for fantasy football managers. Mooney has caught only 10 of his 21 targets through four games this year for 147 yards, and he has yet to find the end zone. He's currently rostered in just 29% of Yahoo leagues. Don't rule him out as a decent flex streamer this week with six teams on bye.

NFL teams are monitoring the 0-7 New York Jets ahead of this year's trade deadline, and names that teams are keeping an eye on include running back Breece Hall, wide receiver Allen Lazard, and defenders Quincy Williams, Jermaine Johnson II, Will McDonald IV, and Michael Carter II, sources tell Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. "There's an element of trying to figure out who are Glenn's guys are and who aren't. Remember when Detroit suddenly traded T.J. Hockenson? A building block from the last regime is not going to be a guaranteed building block in this one," one source said. The Jets' 2025 season has already gone off the rails in Glenn's first year at the helm, and it appears that quarterback Justin Fields will be benched going into Week 8 against the Cincinnati Bengals in favor of veteran Tyrod Taylor. Hall hasn't been bad as the Jets' RB1, but their lack of a passing attack has led to defenses stacking the box to stop him. He would almost certainly benefit from a change of scenery from a fantasy standpoint.
